The latest drone attack came a day after Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi warned the United States that intensified drone attacks or ground operations against Islamist militants in Pakistan could undermine the allies’ relations.

Pakistan security officials said the missiles hit an Islamic school being used by militants as a training camp.

“The attack happened at 7 a.m. (0200 GMT) and we have reports of 10 deaths at the moment. They’re all militants,” a security official who declined to be identified told Reuters.

U.S. officials say the drones are an effective weapon against militants and the strikes are carried out under an agreement with Islamabad that allows Pakistani leaders to criticise them in public. Pakistan denies any such agreement.
